that's when george zimmerman suddenly became mr. white knight. he didn't even know this lady. came in and talked about it 20 times with her and the prosecution asked her. wasn't it true that it turned out one of the home invader robbers lived in the neighborhood at the back of the tract or whatever. yes, it was. but they arrested him but they released him because he was underage. george bought the gun right after that incident. i think he had mistaken trayvon with that kid. my point is he went looking for a fight. he was looking for a fight thinking it was the kid who was robbing houses. you heard it all through the trial the robberies because the kid lived in the neighborhood. he sees a black kid with the hoodie. he thinks it's that kid who robbed his neighbor. i don't think he intended to kill him. i think he wanted to kick his ass and teach him a lesson. and i think he didn't realize because you know, to white people all black kids look the same. it's a scientific fact that we cannot differentiate. >> he was on tape saying these f-ing punches. punks. >> stephanie: right. >>
